I'm home today, finally! It has been quite some time since I left Melaka. Been missing my family and my cat so much >.< My hectic life in Shah Alam does not allow me to go home often. With studies, sports and some occasional events to attend, I now need a short break.

Aside from the hype of going home, I'm also made happy by these parcels as well. Oh you know me, how addicted I am towards all these beauty stuff thingy :p I just wanna share it here.

The first parcel is from ShopGirl. I won her giveaway at facebook and the main prize is a full size Dr.G Perfect Pore Cover BB Cream. I never used Dr.G products before, and I'm so happy to win this baby ^_^ I have large pore problem on my cheeks, it's pretty annoying and I hope this BB cream will be able to help me like it helps ShopGirl. She told me that she's been using this Dr.G product for 8 years, WOW! This must be a very good BB cream :D and oh, I also receive some extra gifts as well, double happiness ON! 5 face masks, 1 KATE eyeshadow palette and Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline body lotion. Everything is new to me, never tried/owned them before. Thanks a lot ShopGirl, you really inspire me to be a generous gift giver for my upcoming giveaway ^_^

I also received another parcel from Nabilah of Beaut and The Beast, this time it is my first Ecotools brush! I bought it with her (we do 1 massive order @ group buying, coz a single postal cost is damn expensive) during Ecotools sale at Mysale.my last month. This buffing brush was sold at RM20 each. I'm gonna try it with my face powders soon ^_^ *excited!

That's all for now, I'll be back with more picture loaded posts ^_^ stay tuned!

I'm a huge fan of Jason Statham and I'll never miss his movies. So when Nuffnang had a premiere ticket giveaway I definitely tried my luck. So, long story short, I got 2 special screening tickets to watch Homefront last Tuesday, 26th November 2013. Yippeee!!

Homefront was written and produced by Sylvester Stallone. You'll see Jason Statham, James Franco, Winona Ryder and Kate Bosworth as the main actor/actresses in Homefront.

The movie is about Phil Broker (Jason Statham), ex nark (DEA) trying to build a new life away from where he last lived. His last job was an undercover agent in a biker's group which was also the biggest drug distributor. So when the group was ambushed, the leader's son was killed with 47 shots and the leader swears a grudge on Broker that his family, his daughter won't be safe.

Broker's new life in the countryside rocked a bit when his daughter got bullied but fought back at school. The drug distributor at that area (James Franco) got to know about Broker's old life and sent an informer to the imprisoned biker's gang leader, telling that it's a gift in exchange of distribution help.

Next was blood bath, and you can guess who wins in the end :p Basically the story line was predictable, nothing fancy and it was a straight movie about family, love and grudge. This movie is rated 18PL here, I see it's level of gory-ness the same like RED 2. Not suitable for underage children just because there's a lot of blood and violent fighting scene. Overall, it is an okay movie. Go watch with your family members and friends ^_^ (and make sure they obey the age limit).

November is autumn, but my days had never been brighter with The Butterfly Project Malaysia and its bombastic events ^_^ I got the opportunity to dance the petals off with my lovely Butterflies at Luau Party with Kinohimitsu, thanks to The Butterfly Project for the invite!

The party was held at Vila Manja Spa in the heart of KL. It was an old bungalow place, located in an old housing area nearby LRT Ampang Park. Everything was so quite and secluded inside there, what a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city ^_^ No wonder Mamasan Tammy loves Vila Manja Spa so much coz I also think that the place is perfect for a pampering session. It has a vintage feeling to it, with bits of Balinese decor that looks lavish at the same time. Love! We get to enjoy a mini head and shoulder massage upon our arrival as well ^_^

During the party, we were introduced to Kinohimitsu's latest health product, Bio-Booster. It is a health supplement that aids your digestive system to absorb nutrients better and help whatever your intakes to work well to your system. Wondering why you still feel tired after taking supplements? Wonder why it doesn't work? Then maybe your digestive system has an absorption issue, so here's when Bio-Booster come to the rescue!

Kinohimitsu brought along two of their loyal celebrity users for a sharing session on how their health has improved with continuous consumption of their favourite Kinohimitsu products. Apart from that, we also played games that has some significance to the concerning health issue that night :) Oh, did you know that some Butterflies showed their dance talent that night? It was crazy you know, people were cheering and it was a real party! We had a performance by professional dancers from Fitness First as well, I really love their costume, the dance moves and how harmony it was with the E.T song by Katy Perry. Freakin' awesome!

Every Butterfly receives an activity card to enjoy some treats and game at different station, and we got to redeem a goodie bag too! The game was spin the wheel and win some Kino products or spa treatment (3 grand prizes). We get to taste the UV Bright Drink, Bio-Booster and redeem a goodie bag containing full sized products from Kinohimitsu ^_^

There was a table full of food too! OMG everything tastes so delicious and moderately seasoned/marinated :) The crew did the BBQ since before dark, I saw them when I arrived. There were satay, fruits, grilled chicken, steamed fish, corn, fried rice, cocktail sausages and more I couldn't recall, hehe! I was too focused on eating I guess :p Some pretty Luau Cupcakes were served too.

Another thing that made everyone beyond excited that night was the photobooth by 123Cheese.my :) Can you believe it they gave us free, unlimited prints of pictures! So clearly nobody wanted to miss the opportunity of getting as much pictures as we can, hehe! The props were marvelous too, good job 123Cheese.my!

I truly enjoyed partying the night away with everyone. Everything was definitely the best! From the ambiance of the venue, the games we played, the information we get, the foods, the photobooth and most importantly the hospitality I received that day makes me a happy girl. Thank you The Butterfly Project Malaysia for coming up with such great event for us Butterflies ^_^

"Pure essential oils have many uses. They can be inhaled or applied on the skin, as an alternative treatment for infections, stress and other health related problems. They can be added to bath, diffuser, candles, perfumes, etc"

It comes in a cute 10ml bottle, equipped with a dropper-type dispenser. I really love the smell of it. This tea tree essential oil has a very strong smell which I found very fresh and relaxing. The consistency is not very oily, and it has a cooling effect upon contact with skin and dries fast.

I have been using this tea tree essential oil for quite some time, specifically for acne treatment as I do not have any acne treatment cream until recently. From what I experienced, Heaven on Earth Tea Tree Essential Oil helps in soothing the angry red bump of my pimple within 3 days.

Since it is said that essential oils must be mixed with carrier oils before use on skin (read here), I consulted Mabel from HiShop on which carrier oil is suitable to be mixed with tea tree essential oil. The representative from Heaven on Earth then informed us that it is best to use tea tree essential oil with jojoba oil as it matches our skin's lipid.

However, you don't have to worry as for acne treatment, you can directly apply the tea tree oil onto those annoying zits. Be careful not to apply too much okay? I found that blogger J-Mei suggested to add a few drops of tea tree essential oil onto a cotton pad dampen with toner before dabbing it onto the acne/pimples. I hope it works on you as well if you're trying ^_^

Purchase can be made at HiShop Malaysia and you will receive a miniature vial worth RM15. Besides tea tree, there are many other essential oil and carrier oil selection for you to choose as well just at HiShop. View it hereand enjoy the comfort of your own mini spa at home! Stay healthy always ^_^

Today I went to class very early, like an hour early because le bf has to go and service the car. So I waited obediently in an empty class, updating my blog and when 1030am comes, my class rep arrived saying that our lecturer is sick and the class is cancelled (T_T) takpelah, that means I can do more blog post, hehe!

Since I never had the chance to celebrate Christmas, let alone receive a Christmas present, I think I wanna try my luck this time. Dear Santa Hermo, can you please grant my simple wish list? I have been a very good girl this year, I achieved a lot too ;)

I never own any Laneige products, so I guess MultiBerry Yogurt Repair Pack would be the perfect gift for me. It would be so much fun to get our dreamed item as a gift ^_^ I hope Santa Hermo knows that I'm a yogurt and berry lover too! I read a lot of positive reviews on how it helps making skin smooth, and I wish for a smooth skin to celebrate this festive season! I really would love to experience the happy and relaxed Christmasty feeling when applying this yogurt repair pack on my skin, so please dear Santa Hermo, make my wish come true :D

Psstt, do you know that Hermo.My is having a great Christmas sale special for their customers? Yes!! There will be limited edition gift cards, spin to win and also super value Christmas set (I'm sure you all will be deeply interested with the sets!). So what are you waiting for? Log on to hermo.my now and shop for your Christmas before all the good things are gone!

It's Monday and I'm shooing away the blues by writing, hehe! Now, how many of you guys religiously do scrub your face 1-2 times a week? I hope you all are not as lazy as me, coz sometimes I get too involved in making myself busy and only remember to scrub when I see a dull complexion on the mirror =_='' Well, let's see the face scrub that I've been loving so far!

The face scrub I'm currently using is from Lanopearl Australia, called the Refining & Exfoliating Scrub (thanks HiShop for letting me try this awesome scrub!). Now when you see the word Refining and Exfoliating, please don't only think about abrasive scrubs with harsh beads. Nope, Lanopearl's is nothing like that and that's why I'm in loveeeee ^_^ This product comes in a plastic tube at 150ml.

description, directions for use, ingredients

for animal lovers, this scrub is cruelty free!

What I really love about this scrub is that it contains tiny oatmeal beads (sounds like breakfast!) that is not abrasive to my skin. Though it seems gentle, the scrub does it job well in making my face looks polished and soft after use ^_^ I use it once or twice a week as recommended (or whenever I remember to scrub, haha) and I personally think it helps, like I'm changing to a soft new layer of skin :)

The smell of this product is okay, it does smell like something breakfasty LOL am I too hungry now? As you can see in the pictures above, you just need that dollop like I squeezed to cover your entire face. This scrub has a thick, creamy or waxy consistency. It does not lather. Some of you might find its smell a bit too chemical but I think it is not bad. Sometimes I imagined that I'm scrubbing my face with Nestum, hehe!

So, if you're searching for a face scrub that smells good, does its job well and not abrasive, I recommend you to try Lanopearl Refining & Exfoliating Scrub. You can get it from HiShop at RM69 (keep your eyes peeled, sometimes HiShop have lovely discount surprises!).

I'm guilty for not wearing face mask for a long time due to my busyness >.< So today I'm back with a review on a mask that I wore a day before. It is from Beauty Clinic Mediheal, a trusted sheet mask brand from Korea. The name is ADE Pumpkin Mask. See how cute the packaging is? It resembles a drink container with a straw!

This mask is aimed to take care of our face line and also enriched with revitalizing properties for our skin. See the functions on the left side of image below? They checked the box that shows this mask's property. There is a step by step instruction too, in Korean language, which I obviously cannot read or understand :p

Oh, this mask too is a lifting-up mask that can make our skin smooth and more elastic. However, surely all of you know that in order to get that result, you have to wear the mask at least 7 to 10 times in a row. That means a mask per day or per 2 days, depending on your pocket and also your discipline.

When I took the mask out, it is 100% drenched in essence (thank God it doesn't drip) and I found that apart from being a plain mask sheet, it has a printed pattern which resembles DNA spiral.

After wearing the mask, my skin felt a lot smoother and moisturized. I really love the after effect! Lines are reduced and pores get smaller too ^_^ I hope you can see the difference in the above pictures. Sorry for not putting a whole picture of my face, it's the raging hormone time I don't wanna share it here XD oh another one thing I found out after wearing the mask is that the whiteheads popped out. It was just at my nose and its left + right side. You can see a bit of it in the AFTER picture.

Verdict :

This is an excellent mask in term of making our skin smooth and reducing the fine lines as well. My skin also love the bouncy feeling it got after I took the mask off. Rating? 4/5 stars! If only the smell could be a bit sweeter coz the smell is slightly weird, or shall I say pumpkin-ish? But don't worry it does not really smell bad after all :) Hehe

I just wanna share a bit about my favourite night cream so far :) I actually never had a proper night cream before I get this one. Why? Because I was too lazy and I thought I just wanna let my skin be on its own at night, free from being slathered with anything, hehe. But ever since I learned that our skin undergoes the necessary repairs when we sleep, I decided to change my perception ^_^

I got this Burt's Bees Sensitive Night Cream from Bag of Love (June bag) facebook giveaway. Actually I won for the Cupuacu Butter lotion but Mimi told me that Burt's Bees sent the night cream instead, which I don't mind at all coz I don't have any, hehe! I thing I really love about BoL is because they let subscribers give feedback about the items in the bag and stand a chance to win some full sized products ^_^

This night cream comes in a glass jar with sturdy plastic lid. Since I'm not a fan of dipping my fingers into the product, I usually turn the jar upside down to get some product sticking on the inside of the lid, so that I can just take it from there.

The product has a slightly creamy consistency but when spread evenly, it sinks into my skin effortlessly without feeling greasy, thick or heavy. It does not have any sweet or weird scent, but I detected a very light scent which I don't know how to describe =_='' It's not something plastic-y or chemical, oh well since it has cotton extract, maybe it's the smell of cotton? what am I talking

I have been wearing this night cream for a few months, and I can say that it is a good product to try if you're looking for a decent night cream. I woke up with a less greasy face, and my skin definitely feels hydrated and soft. I won't say that it gives any miraculous changes on my skin since it's property is just for hydration and also because I don't really have much problem besides oily skin and seasonal pimples. Overall, if you feel like using a night cream that is not too fancy and suits all skin types (since it is made for the sensitive range), give this product a try :)
